" Ha, ha. 94 00:06:29,900 --> 00:06:33,051 This is Don Hartman, wishing you all goodnight. 95 00:06:37,580 --> 00:06:41,175 They build you up to a big finish and leave you hanging on a meat hook. 96 00:06:41,260 --> 00:06:43,820 You heard what he said. No news is good news. 97 00:06:43,900 --> 00:06:46,494 - He said, "No noose is good noose. " - So? 98 00:06:46,580 --> 00:06:49,890 Oh, it doesn't matter. I wish they'd get it over with. 99 00:06:49,980 --> 00:06:54,132 You start thinking about that $25,000, or even the $5,000... 100 00:06:54,220 --> 00:06:55,892 - Or anything. - You said it. 101 00:06:55,980 --> 00:07:00,178 When you've got it right in your mitts, they leave you with your tongue hanging out. 102 00:07:00,260 --> 00:07:02,216 There ought to be a law against it. 103 00:07:02,300 --> 00:07:06,134 - Did you really think you'd win it? - I haven't lost it yet. 104 00:07:06,220 --> 00:07:08,450 - How many have you lost? - I don't know. 105 00:07:08,540 --> 00:07:12,419 But every time I've lost a contest, I've doubled my chances on the next one. 106 00:07:12,500 --> 00:07:16,891 It's the law of averages. Like when I lost the How Many Peanuts In The Window contest. 107 00:07:16,980 --> 00:07:20,256 - That doubled my chances... - They put boxes under the peanuts. 108 00:07:20,340 --> 00:07:23,491 They didn't ask how many boxes under the peanuts. They said... 109 00:07:23,580 --> 00:07:26,094 - "How many peanuts are in the window?" - So I lost. 110 00:07:26,180 --> 00:07:29,695 That doubled my chances on the You Fill In The Missing Words contest. 111 00:07:29,780 --> 00:07:31,771 - But you lost that one too. - Fine. 112 00:07:31,860 --> 00:07:35,614 - I was eight to one in the limerick contest. - But you didn't win it, Jimmy! 113 00:07:35,700 --> 00:07:37,656 That's what makes it a cinch this time. 114 00:07:37,740 --> 00:07:39,651 Can't you see it over there in lights? 115 00:07:39,740 --> 00:07:41,970 The guy swallows his coffee, and it says, 116 00:07:42,060 --> 00:07:46,178 "If you don't sleep at night, it isn't the coffee, it's the bunk. " 117 00:07:46,260 --> 00:07:49,138 - That's some slogan. - Mm-hm. 118 00:07:49,220 --> 00:07:51,893 Do you get the point? Do you understand what it means? 119 00:07:51,980 --> 00:07:53,891 - Yes... - What do you mean, yes? 120 00:07:53,980 --> 00:07:57,814 It's clear as crystal. "It isn't the coffee, it's the bunk. " 121 00:07:59,140 --> 00:08:03,656 If you don't sleep at night, it isn't the coffee that keeps you awake, it's the bunk. 122 00:08:03,740 --> 00:08:07,813 - The bunk when you don't sleep! - I know! I've heard it a thousand times! 123 00:08:07,900 --> 00:08:10,733 - I just don't understand it. - Maybe you don't try to. 124 00:08:10,820 --> 00:08:14,529 - Maybe I don't. - A kid of two could understand that. 125 00:08:14,620 --> 00:08:18,693 This Viennese doctor says that whole idea's just a superstition, 126 00:08:18,780 --> 00:08:21,897 that instead of keeping you awake, coffee makes you sleep. 127 00:08:21,980 --> 00:08:25,609 - It's simple. Coffee makes you sleep. - It doesn't make me sleep. 128 00:08:25,700 --> 00:08:28,817 - He's a Viennese doctor! - Coffee keeps you awake! 129 00:08:28,900 --> 00:08:33,052 Why are you so pig-headed about it? I'm not trying to contradict you... 130 00:08:33,140 --> 00:08:36,576 It's the new scientific theory. It's the basis of my slogan. 131 00:08:36,660 --> 00:08:40,414 People who think coffee keeps them awake are nervous wrecks anyway 132 00:08:40,500 --> 00:08:42,058 so why blame it on the coffee? 133 00:08:42,140 --> 00:08:46,930 So I say, "If you don't sleep at night, it isn't the coffee, it's the bunk. " 134 00:08:47,020 --> 00:08:49,056 - Do you get it? - I guess so. 135 00:08:49,140 --> 00:08:53,895 - You guess so. What does it mean? - It's the bunk. 136 00:08:53,980 --> 00:08:57,495 - Yes, but do you get the play on words? - You don't need a play on words. 137 00:08:57,580 --> 00:09:01,698 Any time anybody says coffee makes you sleep, it's bunk. 138 00:09:01,780 --> 00:09:05,170 Don't you understand? It's funny. People are going to laugh. 139 00:09:05,260 --> 00:09:09,014 It means it isn't the coffee that keeps you awake, it's the bed. 140 00:09:09,100 --> 00:09:11,739 - With me it's the coffee. - Oh... 141 00:09:11,820 --> 00:09:15,051 I want you to win it. I'm just as anxious as you are. 142 00:09:15,140 --> 00:09:19,213 And when you lose this one, think how much better your chances will be on the next. 143 00:09:19,300 --> 00:09:24,169 Fine chance I've got of winning anything if everybody says coffee keeps you awake. 144 00:09:24,260 --> 00:09:27,775 Let's drink a gallon of coffee and see who sleeps the longest. 145 00:09:27,860 --> 00:09:30,010 - Oh, shut up. - Jimmy! 146 00:09:30,100 --> 00:09:32,455 Jimmy! 147 00:09:35,260 --> 00:09:36,613 Yes, ma'am. 148 00:09:36,700 --> 00:09:38,895 Mr. Zimmerman says will you not talk so loud? 149 00:09:38,980 --> 00:09:42,689 - He's trying to go to sleep. - Tell him to drink a cup of coffee. 150 00:09:42,780 --> 00:09:45,578 And don't take cold up there. Is Betty warm enough? 151 00:09:45,660 --> 00:09:49,369 - Yes, thank you, Mrs. MacDonald. - All right, dear. 152 00:09:52,460 --> 00:09:55,532 I'd like you just as much if you didn't win the old contest. 153 00:09:55,620 --> 00:09:57,929 - That's because you're a sap. - Maybe I am. 154 00:09:58,020 --> 00:10:01,376 But if I am I'm glad of it. You know how we feel about each other. 155 00:10:01,460 --> 00:10:03,610 - Nix. - It's true, isn't it? 156 00:10:03,700 --> 00:10:06,692 - You can't say I'm being forward. - Not much. 157 00:10:07,700 --> 00:10:11,739 I'm not. Time is slipping by and we're not getting any younger. 158 00:10:11,820 --> 00:10:13,412 Nix. 159 00:10:13,500 --> 00:10:15,331 Two can live as cheaply as one. 160 00:10:15,420 --> 00:10:18,218 Who wants to live cheaply? Cut it out, will you? 161 00:10:20,620 --> 00:10:23,532 What would you do if you won the $25,000? 162 00:10:23,620 --> 00:10:25,531 Stick it in the bank. 163 00:10:25,620 --> 00:10:28,214 Wouldn't you even buy a little ring or something? 164 00:10:28,300 --> 00:10:30,973 - I don't like rings on a man. - Oh, you. 165 00:10:31,060 --> 00:10:35,372 What's the use of talking about it? You know I'd spend it on you and mum. 166 00:10:35,460 --> 00:10:38,179 I'd get you a new shiny car and a swell apartment. 167 00:10:38,260 --> 00:10:42,572 Maybe one of those little dream houses in the suburbs, some hired help. 168 00:10:42,660 --> 00:10:46,778 Maybe a trip to Europe.
